- SAFETY GUIDE -
WARNING!! RISK OF EXPLOSION / RISK OF FIRE
!NEVER use any fuel other than water-clear 1-K kerosene.
!NEVER use fuel such as gasoline, benzene, paint thinners or other oil compounds in this heater.
!NEVER refill heater fuel tank when heater is operating or still hot.
!NEVER use heater in areas where flammable vapors or gases may be present.
!NEVER fill heater fuel tank in living space; fill tank outdoors.
!NEVER store or transport kerosene in other than a metal or plastic container that is (1)acceptable for kerosene, (2)
!The unit is EXTREMELY HOT while in operation. Due to high surface temperatures, keep children, clothing, furniture, and other combustible objects at least 36” away from top and front area.
!RISK OF IN DOOR AIR POLLUTION
USE HEATER ONLY IN WELL VENTILATED
AREAS. People with breathing problems should consult a physician before using the heater. In a house of typical construction, that is, one that is not of unusually tight construction due to heavy insulation and tight seals against air infiltration, an adequate supply of air for combustion and ventilation is provided through infiltration; however, if the heater is used in a small room where less than 200 cubic feet (5.7 m of air space is provided for each 1,000 BTU per hour of heater rating (considering the maximum burner adjustment), the door(s) to adjacent room(s) should be kept open or the window to the outside should be opened at least 1 inch (25.4 mm) to guard against potential buildup of indoor air pollution. DO NOT use the heater in a bathroom or any other small room with the door closed.
!NEVER use heater to heat or boil water or use as a cooking appliance.
WARNING!!
FAILURE TO INSTALL, MAINTAIN, AND/OR
OPERATE THIS KEROSENE HEATER ACCORDING
TO MANUFACTURER’S INSTRUCTIONS MAY RESULT IN CONDITIONS WHICH CAN PRODUCE BODILY INJURY AND/OR PROPERTY DAMAGE.
NOTE: The WARNING and IMPORTANT instructions appearing in this manual are not meant to cover all possible conditions and situations that may occur. It must be understood that common sense, caution, and carefulness are factors which cannot be built into this heater. These factors must be supplied by the person(s) installing, maintaining, or operating the kerosene heater.
Always contact your dealer, distributor, service agent, or the manufacturer on any problems or conditions you do not understand.
!NEVER leave heater operating if you intend to leave for any period of time. Always make sure to turn heater off and inspect to insure that it is completely extinguished prior to going to bed.
!NEVER leave heater unattended.
!NEVER use as a source of heat for drying objects.
!NEVER place objects on the top plate.
WARNING!! RISK OF BURNS
!NEVER operate the heater without the guard or grille completely attlached.
IF POOR QUALITY KEROSENE is used a rapid accumulation of carbon and tar is likely. This may cause a strong odor and will destroy the wick. Additional heater damage may occur as the wick becomes more difficult to adjust. The use of poor quality fuel could also make the wick very hard to extinguish. Always make sure the fire is out. (See page 12, Extinguishing the Heater.)
ADJUSTMENT OF ROOM TEMPERATURE can not be changed by adjusting the heater. A Kerosene heater is either on or off. There is no temperature adjustment. If heater output is reduced by lowering the wick in any way, improper combustion will occur producing odors and an accumulation of tar and carbon. If your room becomes too hot, open a door or a window or turn off the heater.
